Description The upper ocean is the most variable and dynamically active part of the marine
newlineenvironment that couples the underlying ocean to the atmosphere above through the
newlinetransfer of mass, momentum and energy. The thickness of mixed layer is an important
newlineparameter in determining the quantity of heat that is available for exchange with
newlineatmosphere which is capable of triggering several ocean-atmosphere coupled processes.
newlineMixed layer also plays an important role in determining the chlorophyll biomass and
newlinebiological productivity of the upper ocean. The present thesis is an attempt to decipher
newlinethe basin-scale variability of the mixed layer in the Bay of Bengal on a seasonal scale and the factors responsible for it. The aim is also to understand how the changes in water column nitrate and chlorophyll are linked to the upper ocean variability.
